A/N: Sorry for taking a while to get this chapter up. AP testing took up a lot of time. Summer break is coming up soon so that means more time for typing and updating. -Chojitsuna (TheGnRFangirl)

"So, who would you suggest as allies?" I asked Sakura.
"Your Uncle Madara, Sai, and possibly Itachi." She answered confidently.
"When did my Uncle ever come into this mess? I'm pretty sure he was against our relationship when we were younger."
"That's because he thought that our relationship was based off status and money. He kept telling your father that it was all an act."
"That's probably because that's what happened with his ex-wife."
"He was just looking out for you. You are his favorite nephew Sasuke."
I doubt that I was Uncle Madara's favorite nephew. Itachi was the family favorite not me.
"Do you think anyone outside of my family will help us?" I asked her.
"Possibly Itachi's friends which already involves my cousin Sasori." She answered. "My cousin Gaara would probably help us."
"Anyone outside of our families that will help?"
"Not sure. We can look into that later." She looked me in the eye now. "What we really have to think about is how to get rid of him."
"If you marry him can you divorce him?"
"If I do then they'll call in the debt. They're only agreeing to let go of the debt Sasuke. We're not merging companies."'
"So Naruto has to be taken care o no matter what?"
"Yeah."
I saw a single tear fall from her eye. Before I could even try to comfort her; she angrily wiped the tear away. I sort of knew where she was coming from. Once upon a time where things were simple; we were all friends. We each leaned on each other for support, advice, and company. Naruto was the closest friend that I had in that time. I know that he was like a brother to Sakura. Five years ago I couldn't imagine Naruto taking Sakura from me by force. Let alone shoot my fingertips off. Now, we were discussing about how to kill him.
"Sasuke, why don't you call your family while I call mine over?" Sakura suggested.
I nodded and pulled out my cell phone. I texted the people Sakura suggested. I'd have to remember to ask Itachi if any of his friends would help us out as well. We might not need a lot of people but the more allies we had the easier this would be. I sent the text message and waited for Sakura to finish contacting her family.
"Sakura," I said as a thought occurred to me. "You said that there was another half to the problem besides Naruto. What is it?"
"The money." She answered and looked up at me. "My family would still owe the Uzumakis the money we borrowed. I've been brainstorming with my cousins and father about an idea that could possibly help."
"What is this idea then?"
"I noticed that in some sci-fi movies and shows that whenever someone gets hurt they're put in some sort of tank to heal. At some point I started thinking about a fetus or embryo inside the placenta."
I raised a questioning eyebrow. My family may be a pharmaceutical company but that didn't mean I knew much about the human anatomy.
"Just imagine a baby inside his or her mother's womb." Sakura said. "It's in this stage that we grow our limbs, nerves, and well basically everything. I was thinking about how we might be able to get these tanks to actually put us back in that stage of life. Imagine if we could grow lost limbs or recover from burns or maybe even heal people what were born with defects. We're not sure how well it would work with genetic defects. There's a prototype that'll be completed soon."
I just stared at Sakura and absorbed the information that she just bombarded me with. Her family was really trying hard to fix the problem that they had created for themselves. I'm sure that it was Kakashi's idea. He isn't someone that leaves his debt unpaid. I should know, the Uchiha have financially supported the Hatakes in the past.
"The problem with it is that it's in the testing phase right?" I heard a familiar voice ask.
I turned to find its owner and saw my brother standing there. Behind him I saw Sai, both of my Uncles, and a few Hatakes in the doorway. As Itachi entered the others followed after him. I noticed that Uncle Madara closed and locked the door.
"That's the main problem." Sakura's cousin Sasori said. "It would have to go through tests with animals before we could even think about using an actual human guinea pig."
"You know, you could lie about the testing." Uncle Izuna stated. "Just have someone voluntarily test it first then just say that you tested it on animals already and then test more volunteers and it'll be done."
"Uncle, I don't think that would work." I stated.
"Hey, Sasuke can you really play all of these instruments?" Sai asked me as he looked at my instruments.
"Sai now is not the time for questions." Uncle Madara said to Sai.
I looked at everyone who was actually here. Did they really understand the situation? I know that I just flat out told my family that I wanted Naruto gone. Were Sakura's two cousins here because they felt sorry for her?
"Something wrong?" I heard Sakura ask.
I just stared at her. I'm sure she knew what I was thinking because she grabbed my hand reassuringly and entwined our fingers. I squeezed it gently gave her a small smile.
"I'm sure you know why..." I would have finished if Sai hadn't interrupted.
"Yes we know Sasuke." He said. "You want to get rid of Dickless aka Naruto. We know why we're here Sasuke. You need us because the more people involved the easier the whole thing will be right?"
I just nodded my head. I looked at the Hatakes. No shock registered on their faces which indicate to me that they had known that as well.
"So what's the plan?" Uncle Izuna asked enthusiastically.
"Well, first off we need to convince father that helping out the Hatakes would be worth the investment." I said to everyone. "Then we can get rid of Naruto."
"Leave Fugaku to me and Izuna Sasuke." Madara said. "Itachi's friend Sasori here was nice enough to give me some of the documents on their machine and will be talking to your father soon."
"That leaves Naruto." Gaara said bitterly. "How do we get rid of him? Are any of us actually going to get our hands dirty or will you two really kill him yourselves."
Again I turn towards Sakura. After he blew my fingers off; I can no longer see him as my friend. Killing him won't be too hard right?
I looked in Sakura's eyes to see if I could find any hint in them.
"Do you want to kill Naruto?" I asked her.
When I said Naruto's name I noticed that her eyes roared with anger for the briefest of moments. I also saw pain and sorrow in that brief flash of emotion. I don't know why but that angered me.
When had Sakura become so vicious? What the fuck did Naruto do to my sweet pink canary? What did he do that changed her so much? Is it the same reason why she won't wear dresses anymore? Right now she was wearing a guy's suit. Why did she have to change? Our hands were still entwined with each other.
"I want to make him pay." She muttered.
"There's your answer." I told Gaara.
"Then how do we do it?" Sai asked. "Is there any particular method that you two want to use on him?"
"Sakura mentioned that she wanted to use a poison called Cantarella." Sasori said. "That will give him a peaceful death if he ODs on it. If we don't give him lethal dose it'll only put him to sleep for about four hours."
"You'd have to get really close to Naruto if you want to give him any poison." Itachi said. "How do you plan to do that?"
I felt a smile play on my lips for a bit. I knew exactly what I wanted to do. I wanted to find out what Naruto did to Sakura and then I was going to make him pay for it ten times, but that would wait for until we actually got him. I'll let him think he's won this fight. I'll gracefully back out of the fight and be his good "friend" and be "happy" for him.
When he was declared "dead" we'd just have to grab him and make him pay in some remote area where no one would be able to hear him beg for mercy.
"I don't think we should use the poison." Sasori said. "It might get detected by modern forensic science equipment. It might be easier to just stage an accident."
"Fine." Sakura said. "As long as he pays I'm fine with it."
"Anyone have any good plans?" I asked.
"A really bad car wreck." Sai said. "We make sure that Naruto's car catches on fire and let it crash into something. The corpse can be burned beyond any form of recognition. In reality we'll have Naruto in a nice cold dungeon or whatever and you two can deal with him."
I liked that idea.
"Sasuke, you still have to play nice with Naruto." Itachi said. "We have to make sure that no one will think that either you or Sakura had anything to do with it."
"Then we'll need an alibi on the night of the crash." I answered. "Sakura and I can hang out with a group of friends who won't suspect a thing."
"This might work." Uncle Madara said. "Now we just need Fugaku to cooperate."
"That's your problem." I told him.
I saw him make a face that said "I know." Things were starting to look up for me and Sakura. All I needed was an alibi. Oh Naruto, you shouldn't have tried to steal Sakura from me. Now you have to pay for messing with the wrong Uchiha.
